At seven o'clock in the afternoon, the sky became darker and darker, and the twilight reached the extreme corners of the sky.
In the lobby of the Daifuku Hotel, on the seats in the rest area, Shu Yunwen, Tsukamoto Mumi, Loli Ai, and Uncle Mouri were sitting around the small coffee table. Opposite them were Aso Kaeri and the old Hyougo Kaneshiro, casually chatting together.
Chatting.
Kaneshiro Hyougo didn't speak much. He squinted his eyes most of the time, adding a few words from time to time, and then fell into silence again.
Because of Kaneshiro Hyōgo, the atmosphere around him was a bit weird, and topics often disappeared inexplicably during the conversation.
Soon, everyone ended another topic. After a while of silence, Uncle Maori coughed heavily, then raised his hand to look at his watch, breaking the deadlock and said: "Well... It's already past seven o'clock now, and it's almost dark.
Oh, Detective Yueshui, Director Taketomi and the others haven’t come back yet? Even if they go to the island to do preliminary filming work, it should be almost done..."
"Who knows? Maybe it was delayed by something?"
Tsukamoto Sumi smiled slightly and answered casually, while Uncle Maori curled his lips again and said: "...They are really, it's meal time, they actually keep everyone waiting and starve with them, it's really rude!~
"
After Uncle Maoli finished speaking, Shu Yunwen said "uh" and rolled his eyes wildly in his heart——
By the way, Uncle Maori, do you have the nerve to tell others?
If we hadn't used [Illusion] to "call" you back, you might have been abducted by those young ladies on the beach and taken to an unknown place by now...
Shu Yunwen complained in his heart, and Jincheng Bingwu opened his eyes slightly again, his voice hoarse and old: "Mr. Maoli, are you hungry? In that case, let's not wait for them, let's start eating now..."
Listening to Jincheng Heigo's words, Uncle Maori said "Ah", then quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no! I didn't mean that..."
Before Uncle Maori finished speaking, Kaneshiro Hyougo continued: "...It just so happens that I'm a little hungry now - to tell you the truth, I'm not in good health right now and I go to bed very early every night. Let's finish eating quickly.
, I might as well go back and rest early..."
After Kinjo Hyōgo finished speaking, Aso Kaeri quickly said: "But...uncle, isn't this inappropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate." Kaneshiro Hyougo shook his head, with a hint of indifference in his old voice, "It doesn't matter whether others come or not. The only person I really want to entertain today... is Mr. Mori..."
"What? Me?"
Uncle Maori pointed to his nose in confusion, while Jin Chengyougo nodded and said: "Yes, it's you..."
…
It’s around seven o’clock in the evening, Tokyo City, Miwa Town.
In front of the coin-operated lockers in Mihua Park, a woman wearing a windbreaker and hat walked over, reached into her pocket and took out a key, opened one of the lockers, took out a bag from inside, and checked
After looking at the contents inside, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"...The jammers and video tapes are all inside, so the things should be correct! Moreover, according to what the people from the cleaning company reported on the phone, their cleaning went smoothly and nothing strange happened. So, Xue
There shouldn't be anything weird in Li's lab—at least not when they were cleaning it..."
That's right! This weird-looking woman is the one who entrusted the cleaning company to clean Loli Ai's laboratory. She is also Loli Ai's old acquaintance - Belmode!
Belmod murmured softly, looked around carefully, then gently closed the locker and left quickly with the bag in his hand.
Not long after, Belmode walked into a coffee shop, and when he came out, he already looked like Mononobe Masato.
Bermod's disguise and acting skills were unparalleled, and there was no flaw in his disguise. Just like an ordinary student who went out to buy dinner, he returned to his rented apartment with fast food in his hand.
Inside the apartment, Belmode first observed the situation inside, then closed the curtains, turned on the TV, connected the video tape, and checked carefully.
The person from the cleaning company was Belmod who asked Kusuda Rikudō to place an order online. Their service attitude was quite good. The video tapes they shot were the same as what Belmod had ordered. They started filming as soon as they entered the house.
In front of the TV, Belmod carefully watched the scenes in the videotape, first the living room, the disinfection room, and finally the professional laboratory where Loli Ai was doing experiments.
The professional laboratory was fully equipped. Belmode stared at the picture on the TV screen seriously. After seeing the mouse breeding chamber and the labels on the breeding chamber, his pupils could not help but shrink and he immediately clicked the pause button.
, after a few seconds of silence, a smile appeared on his face:
"...Is this guy Shirley also doing research on APTX-4869 here? Speaking of which, that guy Junya Tokizu said some weird things before... He should have been here too, right?"
Belmod suddenly thought of Shi Jinjunzai. After thinking for a while, he squinted his eyes again:
"Speaking of which, with Tokijin Junzai's ability, since he discovered Shirley, he would definitely have installed cameras and other things in the laboratory. Although Tokijin Junzai is dead now, the exorcist and Shirley
They must be very vigilant. If you install a camera or something here, it will probably be exposed immediately, so my best choice is to just keep an eye on this place and look for good opportunities..."
"...As long as I am patient enough, there is always a chance..."
…
Early seven o'clock in the afternoon, Ghost Turtle Island.
Conan and Xiaolan walked around the island, shouting "Sister Taira", "Miss Taira" and the like, looking around, looking for Taira Ie.
Running all the way, Conan and Xiaolan were panting. Suddenly, Xiaolan said "ah" and pointed to the beach not far away: "Conan, look at that..."
Conan followed Xiaolan's gaze and saw a figure lying on the beach. He couldn't help but shrink his pupils and ran over quickly. He saw Taira Ie with his eyes closed tightly, wearing a purple top, with his hands clasped on his chest.
, lying motionless on the ground, with a faint mark of strangulation on his neck, and a line of words next to his head:
I am a ghost from Hailong Palace
Conan squinted his eyes, then immediately stretched out his hand, first probed under Taira Ie's nose, and then stayed on the main artery of her neck for a moment. At this time, Hattori Heiji also ran away not far away.
He came over and said in shock: "This is...Miss Pingliang? She is..."
"She has run out of breath, and she must have been strangled to death." Conan retracted his little hand and looked at the words next to Taira Ie with a solemn expression:
"...As for the murderer, he should be the one who wrote this line!"
